The Sales Coordinator Role

This position is wholly office based and focussed upon customer engagement, this to understand needs, ensure sales opportunities are realised and provide first class service to the customer base. We are seeking someone who can commit to working part-time, on the basis of fifteen hours spread across two working days each week.

You must have demonstrable experience of having worked successfully within a similarly fast-paced sales coordination or internal sales position. You will enjoy the variety and tempo that comes with such a role, be comfortable with both taking inbound customer calls and making outbound calls on a regular basis. The prospect of learning a new internal CRM system will hold no fear for you and you will also be an accomplished administrator, able to complete sales order processing accurately. First class telephone manner, customer service and rapport building skills are all imperative as is the ability to forge and maintain effective internal working relationships with colleagues in other departments. You will also be commercially aware, target driven and very much a team player. As stated, this is a part-time role, so applicants must be happy to accept working fifteen hours per week across two days.
